Details
Recent changes patrolling facilitates identification of vandalism and other unwanted changes.
This rudimentary protection has no direct (immediate) effect on users unless they have the required permission, but distinguishes page modifications which were "patrolled" from others.
Users with the patrolmarks permission will see exclamation marks for "unpatrolled" edits in Special:RecentChanges.
Patrollers get a Mark as patrolled link at the top when viewing the difference of an "unpatrolled" edit.
Clicking the button will change the recentchanges table's rc_patrolled field from 0 to 1.
Certain types of edits will create an autopatrolled edit (rc_patrolled = 2).
All "unpatrolled" changes will be considered patrolled after a certain number of days ($wgRCMaxAge) (because the recentchanges table gets purged periodically, and the absence of a revision in the recentchanges table is treated as the revision being patrolled).
The ability to mark revisions as patrolled is controlled by the permissions patrol and autopatrol.
You cannot mark your own edits as patrolled.
